Ukraine is the victim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on to say that a US-Ukraine minerals deal would \u201ccommit the [United States] not only to further financing of Ukraine, but also to a free, sovereign and secure Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that is not to be sneezed at. That&#8217;s a very, very important commitment. It also, as it happens, spells out in the agreement that Russia is the aggressor in this war.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, people will say, \u2018Oh, this deal is extortionate for Ukraine, and America is being too rapacious\u2019, but not a penny can flow from this investment fund that is going to be set up unless you have a free, sovereign and secure Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd don&#8217;t forget, a sovereign country is a great thing. A sovereign country can decide which clubs it wants to join, like Nato. A sovereign country can decide which troops it wants to invite onto its soil to help protect it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Press on whether it is his understanding that the US and Ukraine will sign a minerals deal over the coming days, Johnson said: \u201cIt&#8217;s my hope that they will. I can&#8217;t absolutely be sure that that is going to happen.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cVarious drafts have been floating around over the last few days.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only point I&#8217;m trying to make is that when you look at this deal, when you look at what it says in black and white about the American commitment to Ukraine, to the freedom, sovereignty and security of Ukraine, when you look at what it envisages for the long term, for Ukraine, that&#8217;s integration with the West, economic integration with the West, a big partnership with most powerful economy in the world \u2014 that&#8217;s positive for a country that wants to be free from Russian control.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat&#8217;s positive, in my view, for Ukraine. Yes, it is a good deal for United States as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;America has a history of demanding a price for its support, and from where I stand today, I think that price for Ukraine is reasonable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Security minister Dan Jarvis was later questioned over Johnson&#8217;s claim that a minerals deal between the US and Ukraine could be agreed soon.<\/p>\n<p>He told <i>Good Morning Britain: <\/i>\u201cThe prime minister [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politics.co.uk\/tag\/keir-starmer-2\/\">Keir Starmer<\/a>]&#8230; is travelling to Washington later this week. He spent the weekend talking to international partners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt does feel like this is a very important moment, an opportunity to bring together a process that will lead to the conclusion of this conflict, which has gone on for far too long.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe human cost for the people of Ukraine is unbearable, and the UK will do everything it possibly can to both support Ukraine&#8230; and work with our international allies \u2014 of which, of course, the Americans are absolutely key \u2014 to bring this illegal invasion by Putin to a conclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pressed on Johnson\u2019s comments, Jarvis said: \u201cLet\u2019s see where we get to over the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a former prime minister, he will understand that there is a diplomatic process that is underway. That\u2019s why the prime minister spent the weekend talking to international allies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why the prime minister is flying to Washington later this week. It does feel like it is a pivotal moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the UK will do is work closely with our international allies, both in Europe&#8230; and of course, not least, with the special relationship we have with the US.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Josh Self is Editor of Politics.co.uk, follow him on Bluesky <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/josh-self.bsky.social\"><i>here<\/i><\/a><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Politics.co.uk is the UK\u2019s leading digital-only political website. <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politics.co.uk\/subscribe\/\"><i>Subscribe to our daily newsletter<\/i><\/a><i> for all the latest news and analysis.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boris Johnson has claimed that Ukraine and the United States are \u201cvery close\u201d to agreeing a deal that would give the US revenues from Ukrainian natural resources as a form of compensation for its military aid.
